Or as Tom Lehrer (partially) put it years ago in "Oedipus Rex:"

"His rivals used to say quite a bit

That as a monarch he was most unfit

But still in all they had to admit

That he loved his mother.

"Yes he loved his mother like no other

His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother,

One thing on which you can depend is

He sure knew who a boy's best friend is!

"When he found out what he had done

He tore his eyes out one by one

A tragic end to a loyal son

Who loved his mother."

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking of Lehrer.

Similar to the tune....

Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex,
Another sad story of death and sex.
You killed yer pa and you loved yer ma
So you gotta go back to Arkasas
